When you experience vapor lock, it's generally recommended to let your motor cool for about 15 to 30 minutes before attempting to start your car. This cooling period allows the fuel in the lines to return to a liquid state, reducing pressure and alleviating the vapor lock issue. Additionally, ensure that you are parked in a shaded area or have proper ventilation to help speed up the cooling process.

A 1986 Ford F-350 may experience vapor lock if the fuel line is exposed to excessive heat. This allows the fuel to boil and prevents the carburetor from receiving a constant supply of fuel.
To remove vapor lock from a Porsche 911, start by allowing the engine to cool down, as vapor lock occurs when fuel vaporizes in the fuel lines. Ensure that the fuel lines and connections are insulated from heat sources, and consider rerouting them if necessary. Additionally, using a fuel pump with a higher pressure rating can help maintain fuel flow, preventing the vaporization issue. Regularly check and replace any worn fuel lines to minimize the risk of vapor lock.
Older fuel pumps suck the fuel from the tank to the engine, and push it from the pump to the carb,and are susceptible to vapor lock because of this ( suction). You can reroute and insulate the fuel lines so they stay cool, but the best most permanent way is to install an electric fuel pump as close to the fuel tank as possible, that way it is a pressure system and not prone to vapor lock.
Yes a 1998 mercury 200 efi outboard vapor can lock. Most of the time the issue can be traced back to the quality of fuel put into the engine that can cause the vapor to lock.

Vapor lock is a condition when liquid fuel turns to fumes in the fuel system causing it to lose pressure and cause fuel delivery problems. It is not actually a lock.
